"There can be no passion, and by consequence no love, where there is not imagination." ― William Godwin Topic(s): Imagination More From William Godwin "As the true object of education is not to render the pupil the mere copy of his preceptor, it is rather to be rejoiced in, than lamented, that various reading should lead him into new trains of thinking." "Government will not fail to employ education, to strengthen its hands, and perpetuate its institutions." "There must be room for the imagination to exercise its powers; we must conceive and apprehend a thousand things which we do not actually witness." More In Imagination "I’ve always felt that what I have going for me is not my imagination, because everyone has an imagination. What I have is a relentlessly controlled imagination. What looks like wild invention is actually quite carefully calculated."― Terry Pratchett "The way that a handful of corporations in Los Angeles dictate how our stories are told creates a real poverty of imagination and it’s a big problem."― Alex Cox "Reality is how we interpret it. Imagination and volition play a part in that interpretation. Which means that all reality is to some extent a fiction."― Yann Martel
